Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Chicken
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thin cutlets.
- Place the cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Cook the Chicken
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil.
- When the butter is foaming, add the chicken cutlets (work in batches if necessary).
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate and tent with foil.
Make the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the lemon juice, chicken stock, and capers.
- Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of chilled butter until the sauce is thickened and glossy.
- Stir in the fresh parsley.
Serve
- Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.
